Shrouded. Its bizar how well it plays for early access. Gameplay is fun, the enemies a little stupid but can be challenging non the less. And the game feels well optimized. My dedicated server is running and using less than 2gb of memory of the available 20gb and no lag. Then the building, it can be a bit finicky sometimes but it allows for so much freedom it’s a fun aspect. Crafting also works good, in all I highly recommend it, and can’t wait to finish the playthrough and cycle back in a year or so to see what it has become then. But it’s already worth the money IMHO.
I disagree, and think it brings all sorts of new takes on the Souls Like formula. But in the end we don’t have to agree and just play what we enjoy. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
How does it compare to the Lords of the Fallen from several years ago? I played through that and found it to be pretty buggy and not very fun, although quick enough that I did a new game plus run as well. I’m curious if the new one is any better.
I have not played the original so I can’t do a comparison. I play on Linux with a Nvidia 3060Ti and fame runs fine, no real issues yet. If you read the forums though, it’s like any other game and does have some bugs for some people. It also being a souls like, means that it’ll never have enough of X or Y or Z for everyone. People complain it’s too hard, some that it’s too easy, some people hate invasions, others think that constant invasions make it better. I would watch a video or two with some game play and you could probably quickly tell if you would want to try it yourself. It also has multiple endings that you can’t do in one run, unlike a lot of the Elden Ring ending where you can then choose at the end.
I’m 25 hours in and barely touched the main story. Once they let me roam around I did nothing but side content. Just yesterday I got access to the “Pokemon” League and I see myself not touching any story content for another 5 hours. It’s great.
Loved the game. I just did the main story and side stories as it’s the plot and characters I play Like A Dragon games for; I wasn’t interested enough in the Sujimon or Dondoko Island stuff to get into it. And no way am I paying extra to do New Game Plus!
Planetbase, it doesn’t take long to figure out but I’m trying to unlock the other more challenging planets at the moment which just takes time.
I’m on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.
Try getting underneath/above and stick close to it, melee when you can, especially when it’s staggered. I found it brutal as well, typical From serving that up right at the start hah.
You find out where that kid lives. Go to their town and tell them of how brave their father was and how he died next to you in battle fighting the enemy hordes. Tell him you made a promise to raise him and see to his education. Add child to raiding party. Raise him to be a merciless avenger in his father’s memory. Become the scourge of the continent. Eventually child finds out that you were the one who killed his father and turned him into a monster for your own profit. Meet child on the plains for a final battle. Refuse to lift your sword in defense because you’ve come to love him as your own. Oh no - the whole thing was a setup by the enemy: they leaked the truth to the kid and set up this meeting as an ambush for both of you, hoping you’d kill/weaken each other. Fight to your dying breath defending the kid and helping him escape. Last words your hear as he escapes and leaves you to your fate are about how much he’ll miss you and forgives you.
Alternate ending: Find kid, wait until kid is at birthday party, kill 5 kids, take loot, 4c, 5 poison vials. Letter from father says “I left because you were a bad son”. Wasn’t birthday party after all was suicide pact. Other 4 kids were half siblings with the same letters. As you walk away stunned but feeling slightly better you find a chest of weapons nearby and a manifesto. It was a murder suicide pact and these kids were in their way to slaughter the local happy families. You are a hero. Everyone claps. You leave the 4c.
In the distance you see he man you “killed”. It was all a setup to get you and those damn kids to weaken each other. He rides up laughing and says “welcome home son”.
If you’re implying that years of mindless consumerism and television have left my brain completely devoid of originality and creativity, leaving me unable to conjur up unique and never-before imagined stories not anything like those of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Lion King, Frailty, Thor, Batman Begins, Maleficent, Iron Man, and many, many others…well…that’d be a serious accusation friend. What kind of monster would do that? And on the internet?!
Mega Man (original NES version) - fast paced and better than I expected platformer
Lonely Mountains Downhill - calming and chill mountain biking game
Voices of the Void - silly and mildly aggravating at times but fun once you get into it simulator game
Sam & Max Hit the Road - funny point-and-click adventure game with puzzles that are fair and logical
Skies Of Arcadia - classic turn based RPG with an entertaining story can’t believe I never played it years ago
My game tips for each game
spoiler- Mega Man (original NES version) - keep shooting while jumping forward, keep distance from the bosses, time jumps based on audio cues - Lonely Mountains Downhill - take the shortcuts whenever possible - Voices of the Void - upgrade your server stability stat as soon as possible, use the toilet to restore stamina, buy shrimp packs - Sam & Max Hit the Road - read the game manual for minigame instructions, check each screen very carefully - Skies Of Arcadia - use gear grease in ship battles, use increm magic to increase attack, red and purple magic are strong against each other
Yes the random battles in SoA do get kinda repetitive especially since many of them seem so easy and the game has you going back and forth on the world map with the same enemies that don’t level scale at all with the characters.
